Jeffries, Dustin

This is my sixth year at Gentry teaching World Geography and my 7th year in education after teaching one year of high school. I grew up in Columbia and went to Mizzou. It's been my aspiration since high school to teach here in CoMo, and I'm so happy and excited to have this opportunity. I love the social studies since we come in contact with them on a daily basis, and studying cultures, places and peoples across the world has really never been more important for young people than it is now.

Personally, I have a beautiful wife (Kristin), a son, and the cutest dog in the world (Lyla)! There are too many pics of our baby boy to put here, but he's below with us. Also, I've coached basketball at the high school level for two years and have coached 8th grade boys basketball here at Gentry for 4 years - this will be my 3nd year as head coach. I look forward to a great school year!
